Texas A&M is actively pursuing four-star athlete Za'Kari Johnson, a verbal commit currently pledged to Florida State. Despite Johnson's July announcement that his recruitment was closed, he is scheduled to conduct an unofficial visit to Texas A&M this weekend. Recruiting analysts indicate the Aggies are making a push to flip the prospect from his commitment. Johnson ranks as the No. 344 overall player in his recruiting class and is projected to play in the secondary. Florida State currently holds commitments from safeties Ta'Shawn Poole and Jemari Foreman but lacks a cornerback commitment for this cycle. The Aggies have found success recruiting in Florida recently, securing five of the state's top eight prospects during this cycle while maintaining a stronger on-field performance record over the past two seasons.
